Key Points

This research aims to explore the vertical variation of projective spectral entropy and its relationship with Yang–Mills dynamics.
Extended the operator $A_g$ to a Laplace-type operator $A_{g,\mathcal{A}}$ on a vector bundle.
Computed the Seeley–DeWitt coefficient $a_4$ and extracted the Yang–Mills term from $S_\Pi[g, \mathcal{A}]$.
Derived the Yang–Mills equations from the variation with respect to the admissible connection $\mathcal{A}$.
Extracted the Yang–Mills term $c_{\mathrm{YM}}\int \mathrm{Tr}(F_{\mu u}F^{\mu u})\sqrt{g}\, \mathrm{d}^4 x$.
Induced gauge coupling $g_{\mathrm{YM}}^{-2} \sim (12 \cdot 16\pi^2)^{-1}\log(\Lambda/\mu)$, showing logarithmic dependence on the UV cutoff.
Showed that gravity and gauge dynamics are organized by heat-kernel order and geometric direction, rather than by symmetry group missing.

Abstract

The companion paper showed that the horizontal variation of the projective spectral entropy functional S_ = 12' Ag with respect to the base metric produces the Einstein tensor as the infrared-dominant response, via the Seeley–DeWitt coefficient a₂. The present paper carries out the complementary vertical variation: extending Ag to a Laplace-type operator A₆, ₀ = - (^A) ² + E on the associated vector bundle of the admissible principal fibre, we compute the Seeley–DeWitt coefficient a₄ for the total operator and extract the Yang–Mills term cₘ₌ Tr (F_F^) g\, d⁴ x. Variation of S_, A with respect to the admissible connection A then yields the Yang–Mills equations D_ F^a = 0 in the current-free sector. The induced gauge coupling gₘ₌^-2 (12 16²) ^-1 (/) is logarithmic in the UV cutoff, while Newton's constant GN^-1 ₒ₏^-2 is quadratic. This spectral hierarchy is a structural consequence of the Seeley–DeWitt expansion and does not require a separate input. The gauge group G_ is taken as input from the spectral admissibility programme ; the SU (3) sector is unconditional: H-color₄₅₅ (equality of capacity exponents c = ₂ = ℂ₂) and H-color₏₎₈₍ₓₖ₈ₒ₄ (exact equality at finite q) are both established analytically in. The central message is: a₂ Einstein, a₄ Yang--Mills, from the single functional S_, A. This spectral stratification suggests that the natural organisational space for unification is spectral and variational rather than purely group-theoretic: gravity and gauge dynamics are separated by geometric direction and heat-kernel order, not by a missing symmetry group.
